2008 Woodie Awards
Leadership hosts 'You Can Do It'
Issue date: 2/27/08 Section: Features
MerMiddle
school students from around the area will be attending
You Can Do It Day on Feb. 28. The event will allow participants
to learn Southwestern's leadership curriculum, then design
a project to take back and use in their own communities.
Lyndsie Oathout, biology sophomore, and Kaycie Goff, biology sophomore, are co-directors
of the event.
It will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Wroten Hall. Middle
schools participating are from Caldwell, Udall, West Elk, Central Burden, and Rose Hill.
You Can Do It Day began in 1998 as a project of a Leadership
Southwestern student. Its goal is to instill core leadership
values in the youth of the area and to equip them with the knowledge and resources needed to carry out a service project in their school or community. The program targets small enrollment
middle schools in and around Cowley County, and is partially funded by a grant from Kids Impacting Cowley County (KICC).

Southwestern, at (620) 229-6381.
